3 | thatgamecompany is an American VideoGame developer, which was founded on May 15, 2006 by Jenova Chen and Kellee Santiago. After their first game, ''VideoGame/{{Cloud}}'', Sony contracted them to develop three more games -- ''VideoGame/{{Flow}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Flower}}'', and ''VideoGame/Journey2012'' -- for the Platform/PlayStation3 between 2006 and 2012, but they've since secured independent funding. Their latest project, ''VideoGame/SkyChildrenOfTheLight'', came out on Platform/{{iOS}} phones in 2019, with other mobile platforms planned at a later date. |

14 | !!Tropes found in thatgamecompany's history: |
15 | |
16 | * ArtGame: Their entire creative output so far has been primarily driven by the exploration of the emotional potential of video games as a medium. |
17 | * BeautifulVoid: |
18 | ** ''VideoGame/{{Cloud}}'': The sky, the clouds in the sky and the islands below, with a volcano and some buildings added in the fourth level. |
19 | ** ''VideoGame/{{Flow}}'': The creatures you eat, the creature you are and the watery substance around you, nothing more. |
20 | * TheMcCoy: The company's MO: making video games based on emotions unusual to the medium. |
21 | * OneWordTitle: All their games' titles consist of a single word, with the only [[ShortTitleLongElaborateSubtitle exception]] so far being ''Sky: Children of the Light'' -- but even that game was known simply as ''Sky'' before release. |
22 | * SilenceIsGolden: Hardly any dialogue pops up in their early games. |
23 | * WorthIt: They went two years over both their deadline ''and'' budget, and were effectively bankrupt by the time they shipped ''Journey'', but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S684RQHzmGA&t=37m51s a single email made it all worth it]]. |
